Install the Add-On Module
The printer driver supplied via Windows Update does not include the Effects functions (such as “VIVID Photo,” “Simulate Illustration,” “Monochrome Effects,” etc.) that were available in previous versions of the driver. In order to enable the Effects functions, download and install the Windows 7 Add-On module from our download site.

By installing the Add-On module, you can enjoy the functions equivalent to the ones available with the Canon printer driver.

You can check whether Canon Inkjet printer driver Add-On module is installed or not either from Control Panel or from the printer driver’s setup screen. If the Effects tab is not present, you will need to download and install the Add-On module in order to enable the Effects functions.

CANON PIXMA

Driver Printer comes with Power Cable, Manuals and Inks. Printing quality is amazing. The printer is suitable for the Personals use, Students and small business.

There is a paper cassette on the underside and a vertical paper tray at the back. The output tray sits atop the paper cassette and will automatically extend itself to catch your prints or copies if you forget to do that yourself. Above the output trays is a dedicated CD/DVD disc printing slot; the disc holder slides into the underside of the output tray for storage.

The Canon PIXMA is quite compact, measuring 14.7 (W) x 14.2 (D) x 5.6 (H) inches, with paper installed. Of course, extending the vertical paper tray in the back adds to the height. The main chassis comes in black, and the lid comes in three colors: gray, gold and red.

Print Speed

In testing, the Pixma MG6450 came out of the gate charging and never slowed down, delivering impressive speeds in almost all of our tests. Starting with text printing, the MG6450 is the fastest model we’ve tested in its class. It printed our text document in just 26.7 seconds, at 11.2 pages per minute, versus the average of 8.4 ppm. By comparison, the PIXMA MG6450 did so in 30.7 seconds, or 9.8 ppm.

Print quality was high across the board. Text printed with a strong black shade, and letterform edges were generally sharp-looking, though edges looked a little lumpy on close inspection. Graphics printed with attractively saturated colors and lots of detail and smooth textures. It is worth noting that text print quality did not take a hit when the duplexer was used: two-sided prints looked just as good as single-sided prints, for both text and graphics.
